The Ticket Is Valid






















And maybe I'll sleep at the station because there's nothing to go home to but an empty fridge and some stale mayonnaise.

And maybe I'll make friends with the guys sleeping under cardboard boxes and newspapers and we'll discuss what it means to love and to live.

And maybe I'll wander the city, one lost particle in a dust storm of Mondays, late nights and reports due yesterday.

And maybe I'll get on a plane or a ship and get lost in places I've never been lost in before.

And maybe I'll keep my phone on me in case you call. And tell me there's something to come home to.

It's amazing how your words perfectly capture how I feel right now. I'm doing my best to move on after all his lies and deception. But why does a part of me still hope that maybe he would come around? Sometimes I can't help but hate myself and my own stupidity.

Beautiful entry though. Perfect. Just perfect.

Or maybe I'll call you, in case you're wondering if you have something to come home to.

(This photo makes me miss the old days of ridiculously early morning train rides when I was in college.)

Wow. Been there, done that.

Sadly, we've all been there and done that. Deliciously your words are more refined than my semi-American redneck spews of "git on goin' before I pull out my .22 on you."

Really heart wrenching but I love it so much. I am tearing up.

You never fail to amaze me. I read this every day thinking each new post is better than the last.

That is beautiful.
Your words are like whispy clouds delicately touching roof tops.

After reading this I listened to Shalamar's 'Somewhere there's a love just for me' and 'For the lover in you'.

Thank You.

And maybe on the day I felt depressive and had no one to talk to about my feeling (I thought)

I'm having an awesome and humoristic conversation about not what life should be but what life is, laughing or asses of, behaving like children because we act, think and speak like little kids

Staying up all night feeling depressed and now at 8:53 im feeling alive.

Watching people outside, making jokes, doing silly things


we are alive
